The 8ft Shimano Sephia? Going from the Quickfire to that would be like going from an overcooked spaghetti straw to a fresh uncooked one straight out of the packet so not surprised it feels weird. If your leader knot isn't catching on the guides then they're definently not an issue

Why such heavy braid ?
I'm new to the game, I figure something a bit heavier will be more forgiving when getting snagged and the lighter line seems to be harder to untangle and more susceptible to knots.
15/20lb is perfect for squid.

I use 15kg WFT Strongline (not Gliss) on my dedicated squid rod. It’s thin and I just rip snagged jigs out of the weed.
